United States Second Circuit

Affirming a district court order denying a motion to withdraw a guilty plea to one count of Hobbs Act robbery where the defendant offered a new defense on appeal that his robbery lacked a de minimus effect on interstate commerce, but the court held that his robbery fell within the law's scope because he targeted the assets of a business engaged in interstate commerce.
